Heavy Life Insurance.

It is curious facial least to a ma
jority of people-that very wealthy Amer
leans are as rule quite as anxious to in
sure their lives for the benefit of their
families as are those citizens whose por-
ton of the worlds goods is small. It
is the most positive indica-
ton Of the feeling of in
stability attaching to riches, and the fear
that they may at any moment take unto
themselves wings and fly away. The
heaviest life insurance policy known here
is that of John Wanamaker, the Philadel-
phia merchant, amounting to 100000. j.
B. Stetson and Hamilton Disston of the
same city, carry $4,000 and 100000
respectively. The Hon. Chauncey M.
Depew's mind is easy regarding his
familY's welfare in case of his death, as
he has half-million policy slowed away.
The well known DR.. Hostetter Of Pitts
burg is not altogether confident of his
patent medicines, for he has q $500, 200
policy. Pierre Lorillard carries one for
s250,0OO, and G. NJ. Pullman of palace
car fame, 100000. Nearly dozen well
known business men Of this city have
secured themselves in sums quite as
large.
Politicians, as q rule, are not partial to
life insurance. They do not wish to be
obliged 10 die to win. Senator FarWell
Of Illinois, however, carries policy for
1928, 900; Senator Don Cameron for
100000. Senator John Sherman is also
heavily Insured.
Editors seem to take hs kindly to life
insurance as they do to good clothes and
religion. Royal M. Pulsifer, the presid-
ing genius of the Boston Herald, leads
the list, carrying life policies to the
amount of S250,O00. Charles A. Dana is
insured for $4,000; George W. Chllds
of the Philadelphia Ledger for 100000;
Benjamin Wood of the New York Daily

a Hideous Being.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May g.. Three
weeks ago Miss Josephine NJ. Madison,
daughter of George Madison, a wealthy
manufacturer of West Philadelphia, dis
appeared from her home. About a week
ago her father found her living with a
Professor James at No. 209 North Tenth
street, trance medium and fortune
teller whom she had married on leaViEg
her home. She had seen the bridegroom
only three times previous to her mar
rage, and had gone the first time
in spirit of frivolity to have her fortune
told. By some strange influence she be-
came infatuated, and was induced to
marry the medium. The marriage took
place in Camden, n. j., where the couple
created so much distrust that nine clergy
men were applied to before one could be
found to tie the knot. Ten thousand dol
lars was offered the husband TO release
the girl, but was refused. The yong
lady is very beautiful, has been carefully
educated, and possesses rare accomplish
ments. The groom is Of remarkably Ugly
appearance, is minus roof to his moHsh,
which makes it impossible for him to ar-
ticulate inteIligibly, and affects fantas-
tic style of dress. It is PROBABLE a lew
suit will be the result, but the wife re-
fuses to leave her husband, with whom
she lives in s state of almost penurv.

Rev. Isaac S. KaIIoch.

Rev. Isaac S. Kalloch, ID. D., who died in
San Francisco, Saturday. was well known in
the east. He was born in Maine, and his
first pastorate was at Rockland, where he
remained from 1850 to 1855. The latter year
he removed to Boston, and preached at IRE
mont Temple until 1860, when he departed
for the Laight street church, New York. In
1864 he settled in Kansas. There he became
editor of the Lawrence Tribune, and re-
mained in charge Of that paper for brief
period, until 1874, when he accepted the pas
torate of the Baptist church of Leaven-
worth, having had under consideration at
the same time the offer from that church and
from the Lawrence Baptist church. During
his residence in Kansas, he was elected, in
1872, to the State Legislature. Mr.. Kall0ch
next removed to San Francisco, and there
was elected mayor in 1879 serving until 1882.
His active movements in the labor agitation
caused much comment, and resulted in May,
1880, in an order passing the board of super
vsors for his impeachment, but he was not
deposed from office, There was much bitter
animosity at the time, on both sides, and the
shooting of one of the DeYoungs, editor OF
the Chronicle, by Mr.. Kalloch's son was not
ed throughout the United States. Mr.. Kali
lOch has been out of politics for several years.
His last pastorate was over the Metropolitan
Temple in San Francisco. Mr.. Kalloch re-
ceived an honorary degree of A. M, from
Colby University in 1856, from Madison in
1857, and ID. ID. from La Grange in 1857.

Hist torIcaI Spanish cities.

The Boston Herald says: MRS. Abba
Goold Woolson delivered the sixth In the
series Of lectures upon the historic cities Of
Spain at the Hawthorne rooms, Park street,
yesterday afternoon. There was a very
large attendance of ladies and gentlemen.
Mrs. Woolson's lectures have attracted much
attention in literary circles. She has the
gift of not only presenting the facts Of an
cient history in a lifelike and cotemporary
way, but Of reproducing In words the ap-
pearances Of the modern city, the modern
landscape and the people Of today. Seville
the capital of the South and CadiZ the Attain
tic seaport" was her subject. Many fine
descriptions were given of the buildings, the
church ceremonies, etc, in these two cities.
Next Tuesday Mrs. Woolson will speak up
on the subject Of journey Among the Ex-
lied Moors In Morocco" and ON the 10Th
inst, the last lecture in the series will be de-
llvered, which Includes a tour through East
ern Spain from Gibraltar TO the Pyrenees
and the cities OF Alica,te, Valencia, Tara
gona and Barcelona.

A Banquet that suited Commissioner
Chamberlain.

Saturday night Mr.. Chamberlain gave a
dinner at the Arlington Hotel to twenty-one
persons. The dinner was prepared by Mr..
Roessle to suit Mr.. Chamberlain's critical
taste. An oblong table in the Reverdy john
son Annex was decorated with three long
clumps of ferns, from the midst of which
projected some five large La France roses.
The effect was striking, but not so graceful
as the usual free use Of flowers. AT each
plate was menu card upon the first page Of
which were the American and British flags
In colors. Crossed above hand enclosing
Below the motto was the name of guest in
gold embossed letters. On the second and
third pages were the bill of fare and wine
list, the clear turtle soup being selection OF
Mr.. Chamberlain's, while terrpin and can
vasback ducks indicated the early surrender
Of the English visitors to those American
delicacies. The party sat down at 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who took in Mr. Bayard,
had the Secretary of State at his right and
Commissioner w. l., Putnam at his left. Be
yond Mr.. Bayard were Minister West, Com
missioner Angel, and the Right Hon. Geo.
+. Foster, Dominion Minister of Finance.
At Mr.. Putnam's lett were Sir Charles Tup-
per, Mr.. j. ID. s. Thompson, Mr.. j. ). Win
ter, and Assistant Secretary OF state Moore.
Mr.. Bergue, British Secretary OF the Com
mission, sat at one end of the table, and Mr..
w. Maycoos at tine other At the opposite
side Mr.. Edwards, of the British Legation
held the central place, with Mr.. William
Graham, Mr.. Spring Rice, MIR. George john
son, Mr.. G. l. Chapman and Major-General
Cameron at the right, and Mr.. w. Courtenay,
nlon; Mr. Beanclerk, Mr.. 5. J; Jenkins, and
Mr.. ID. Stewart at his left. The dinner was
of five courses, and burgunda was served ad
labitum after the last course.

Mrs Amelia Davidson, a niece Of Andrew
Jackson, was last week in Washington with
her three grandchildren. She was on her
way home from Walla Walla. Washington
Territory, to Staunton, Va, at which latter
place she has many friends, and was in such
destitute circumstances that since leaving
Chicago she had been dependent on charity
for transportation, lodging and meals.
London Truth says that Paris is oyerrun

The Carnots are in one respect like the
three generations of the Mendelsso;lns.
When Abraham Mendelssohn was young
man he was spoken of as "the great Men
delssohn," meaning Moses Mendelssohn,
and when he was an old man he was re-
nowned as the father Of ''the great Men
delssohn," meaning Felix Mendelssohn, the
composer. So when Lacare Hypolyte Car
not was young man he was famed as the
son OF the illustri0us Carnot, the organizer
of victory, and now he will be more widely
known as the father Of the distinguished
Sadi-Carnot, President Of the French Repub

There is movement among the physicians
throughout the country to raise funds to
erect monument to DIR. Benjamin Rush.
Few men have haen more nromiDent in this
country than he. In the darkest revolution
airy days he was tower Of strength. In
three successive epidemics which visited
Philadelphia he was constant in his minis
trati0ns on the sick, and kept his brethren in
the profession from deserting their posts.
He was one of the earliest anti-slavery agi-
tators, and was connected with many Of the
charitable institutions for which Philadel-
phia is famed. His grave is almost neglected,
and no monument of any kind has ever been
reared in recognition Of his many services to
the public.
